WEBINAR:On-Demand

"I said that it was untrue that IPR negotiations are normally
secret, mentioning as examples that drafts of the other IPR texts,
including the proposed WIPO treaty for disabilities and the climate
change agreement language on IPR, as well as several drafts of the
FTAA text and the 1996 WIPO copyright treaties had been public.
Kirk said that ACTA “was different” and the topics
being negotiated in ACTA were “more complex.”"
